About this app

Keep Your Child Safer Online and at Home



Sexual predators targeting children online is a scary reality. The OffenderWatch family safety app helps parents protect their children from the unthinkable. Family location sharing allows parents to track their children on a map and see if registered sex offenders live nearby. Parents can also search for registered sex offenders by name or address, see the photo and details about an offender, submit-a-tip about the offender, contact local law enforcement, and get an alert should a registered sex offender move in nearby. (Offender data is for US states only and limited to those offenders published by the state) The OffenderWatch app includes friendly advice and articles about protecting your child at home and online.



Unlike other apps, OffenderWatch has partnered with law enforcement to bring the most complete and correct data on registered sex offenders available. Parents subscribe to receive alerts should their child get contacted by a registered sex offender by text, phone call, or email.sets up a contact for an offender. Parents also receive location alerts should their child linger near a registered sex offender’s home.



A Protect Plus subscription is just $4.99 per month and covers the entire family.





How the OffenderWatch monitoring Works




1 Monitor Your Child’s Device



The OffenderWatch app monitors who calls, emails, or messages your child, and tracks the location on of child’s iPhone—working silently in the background and not interfering with the phone’s use.



2 Check Against Sex Offender Data



We use the most accurate data available. It is provided directly by the law enforcement agencies who manage registered sex offenders. The app checks to see if a registered sex offender is attempting to contact your child or if your child is lingering near an offender’s address.

The app is very limited in access. Cannot customize the ring associated with my location to broaden. Was not able to select work addresses, as it appears the app defaults to home address. To view other areas of our small city, I have to leave the app and find an address in google to use it in the search function of the app. The DCI website is quirky too, but allows alot more map customization.

Their website spins you in circles pushing you towards their "free app" and then of course when you download it they ask for your credit information so they can bill you for a service you know absolutely nothing about. Didn't list anything about a subscription from what I read on the website and I can't stand companies that rely on manipulation tactics to sell product. Usually when they do that it's because the product can't sell itself.

Lucky us, the only people alive with not 1 single sex offener in our town of 12,000. What are the odds? Well, not great. There are dozens that I know of according to our local sex offender list, making this app literally worthless. The only thing it actually provides is a map of our neighborhood. Wow.
